What Is an Adult Family Home?

Signs Your Loved One Needs Extra Care

Keep an eye out for warning signs at home. If your parent is forgetting medications, having trouble with personal care, or falling, they may need extra support. For example, difficulties with cooking or keeping up the house can signal it’s time to consider a care home.

At Evergreen Wellness AFH in Kent, we often hear from families who noticed Mom was unsafe alone. Moving to our home ensured she gets help with daily tasks (like bathing and dressing) and social interaction.

Early steps – like a trial stay – can help everyone decide. We’re here to answer questions and discuss options as needs change.

Afternoon Tea on the Patio

On warm afternoons, residents love having tea or lemonade on the patio. Our shaded outdoor area, complete with raised garden beds, is ideal for enjoying nature and chatting.

A caregiver might wheel a resident outside, and together we take in the flowers and sunshine. This quiet time — a cool drink on the porch — provides a nice break in the day.

It’s these little moments of normalcy and tranquility that help seniors relax and feel cared for in a homelike environment.

Compassionate End-of-Life Care

Evergreen Wellness AFH provides hospice and end-of-life care with dignity.

As one family shared, “The owners go above and beyond to ensure comfort during her time in hospice care”. We coordinate with hospice nurses and doctors for pain management and comfort measures, while our caregivers stay by your loved one’s side around the clock.

Our focus is always on peace and quality of life – gentle companionship, soothing music, family visits – in our homelike setting.

In your most difficult moments, we’re here to support both the resident and their family with compassion and respect.
